Summary

The aim of this study protocol is to describe the rationale and methodology for evaluating the effect of using therapeutic exercises and ultrasound in the rehabilitation of partially injured hamstring muscles on elite football players.

Detailed description

Hamstring muscle injuries are common among highly active individuals. Modern Football is a challenging sport characterized by extremely dynamic and cyclical game motions including numerous bouts of high-speed movements such as accelerating, jumping, and change in direction, all of which are carried out at a high level of physical and technical difficulty. The most common reason for hamstring muscle injury is high-performance intensity. In addition, neuromuscular fatigue, athlete aging, low muscle strength, and hamstring muscle flexibility are also risk factors for hamstring muscle injuries. On the other hand, the main causes of repetition injury to the same muscle are the presence of a previous injury, the size of the muscle tear and the lessening of the long head muscle bundles of the biceps femoris
